Coronavirus: The Latest Challenge for Toy Makers-and Publishers - Publishers Weekly

Today, Panzer made a trip to the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the posts our traveling kitty pilot found one about the Toy Fair New York.

There's no where to hide.
According to the post by Karen Raugust, another U.S. event has had problems connect to the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) in China. The Toy Fair New York canceled the China Pavilion at the event. The Pavilion is where Chinese manufacturers are located during the Fair. Part of the reason for the cancellation is because of the U.S. travel restrictions barring those who are coming into the US directly from China. Many U.S. toy companies have their products manufactured in China. Several U.S. children's book publishers at the Fair also have their books manufactured in China as well.

Panzer says, "That virus thingy is causing more problems every day."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
